Chapter 145: Breaking the Heavy Encirclement, Golden Bell and Iron Umbrella

  "The head of each major family, the Xuan Zong elder, is about to arrive! Just hold him back, after all, having killed two young masters from Donglai City, we can't just let it go!" The robust and earthy aura-emitting Jin Suo said loudly.

  Shang's Shang Jianfeng, carrying a broadsword on his back, his whole body emitting a sword aura like frost, coldly said: "That's right, if we let the little killing god go, where will the face of our young generation in Donglai City be?"

  Many talented young men were moved by the news and were about to surround Xu Yang, but then they heard Xu Yang laughing loudly towards the sky.

  "Dignity! Must be earned through strength! Today, I will slap the faces of you arrogant geniuses!" Before Xu Yang's words had even faded away, Zhu Que flapped its wings, whipping up an eight-zhang wave of flames that charged towards Jin Suo.

  Jin Su angrily shouted, and from his body, a golden bear burst out, with a golden horn on its head, emitting a fierce aura. The bear pounded its chest, sending out transparent shockwaves that blocked the flames shot out by Zhu Que's wings.

  "Follow me, and together we'll destroy him! I'll take the brunt of his attack!" Jin Su used his life-bound Xuanling to block Xu Yang's strike, and instantly, endless confidence surged up.

  Xu Yang let out a cold laugh, the ancient sword's markings lit up, his wrist trembled, and a rainbow-like sword light shot towards Jin Su!

  Shang Jianfeng shouted in surprise: "Be careful, this is the fourth move of the Seven Killings Sword, Long Hong Guan Ri Sha!"

  Jin Su's face was solemn, his hands formed a seal, and his entire body was like a golden bell and iron umbrella, emitting a layer of transparent light that repelled all killing intent, cutting it off from the outside.

  "Jin Family's Golden Bell Iron Shield Treasure Volume!" A young man exclaimed excitedly, "This layer of golden bell shield is incredibly defensive, it will definitely be able to withstand it. Let's attack together..."

  The words had barely fallen when Gu Dingjian's flying sword shot out a long rainbow, piercing through the Golden Bell and Iron Umbrella with a "peng" sound, as if that layer of golden bell shield didn't exist!

  Jin Su's face turned pale with shock, Gu Dingjian's sword pierced through his chest with a destructive force that could shatter everything. If not for the family heirloom "Golden Bell Iron Umbrella Treasure Scroll" which had a body-refining mystic technique that stabilized his chest and flesh, his fate would be no better than Li Guanxi and Liu Mingchuan.

  "Po Ji Wen, is Po Ji pattern!" Jin Su coughed loudly, spitting out blood foam, stumbling backward, "Block the way to the north, can't let him return to Haiyun Mountain!"

  Xu Yang sheathed his Gu Ding sword and rushed westward, leaping and bounding like a bird in flight. Shang Jianfeng's sword eyebrow rose as he drew his broadsword from behind his back!

  As the sword left its scabbard, rolling snow and withered leaves danced in the air. With a fierce cry, he swung his sword, unleashing a stream of sword energy that materialized into an ice dragon in mid-air, biting down on Xu Yang.

  "Infusing the mysterious power, the sword energy transforms into a shape, this is the strongest cultivation among all the enemies on the scene." A thought flashed through Xu Yang's mind, and immediately another mysterious pattern appeared on the ancient sword, a huge sword flower burst out, and a flame ribbon wrapped around the ice dragon that had transformed into a shape, tightly binding it.

  Two prodigious youths flashed by, exchanging blows in close combat for an instant! Xiang Jianfeng let out a muffled groan, his hands grasping the broadsword and propping himself up against the ground. His two feet slid backward like they were equipped with wheels, sliding back several meters, leaving behind a long sword mark on the ground.

  "What an incredibly powerful physical body!" Shang Jianfeng's eyes revealed a hint of fear.

  Xu Yang borrowed the force of the collision, like a soaring eagle, and quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

  A group of young masters and nobles looked at each other, unable to conceal the shock and embarrassment on their faces. They had come prepared, using their numbers to bully the few, yet they still couldn't stop Xu Yang.

  "Xuanzong's seniority, how can he still not arrive!" Jin Su was heavily injured and deeply resentful.

  "I've already sent out a signal, and our family has dispatched someone to intercept him in the north of the city. We absolutely cannot let Xu Yang return to Haiyun Mountain!" Shang Jianfeng's face was grave, "This guy is absolutely a monster, his Xuanli, Gongfa, and physical body - there isn't a single weak point!"

  "All four city gates have a family general guarding them, they should be able to hold out for a moment." Yan Yiming said after hesitating.

  "Pfft, that bunch of good-for-nothings, they can't even block anything! Behind our backs, they definitely wouldn't dare to confront Xu Yang!" Jin Su said.

  Xu Yang rushed all the way to the West Gate of Donglai and saw two black-clad guards blocking his path.

  "Indeed, he is a young killing god, we can't let him leave!" The two black-robed Xuan Masters guards shouted in unison, advancing forward as they unleashed their Xuan powers, transforming into giant pythons to delay Xu Yang's departure.

  Xu Yang's eyes narrowed, he was in a hurry and wouldn't bother with the two guards. The Vermilion Bird and Dark Spirit burst out of his body, their wings fluttering as they wrapped the ferocious beast and snake in a vortex of flames, incinerating them into nothingness in an instant.

  "Get lost, I don't have time to kill you!" Xǔ Yáng directly flew over the heads of the two men, and the two mysterious guards did not dare to resist.

  Ran out of Donglai City for sixty miles, and there were people and horses coming to kill on the north side. Xu Yang was unable to change direction to head north, and could only rush westward. It wasn't until he arrived at a small manor on the west side of Donglai City that Xu Yang finally caught his breath and inspected the spoils of this trip.

  "The greatest gain is this 'Fractal Diagram'!" Xu Yang carefully took out the treasure map and spread it out in front of him.

  This beast skin map, seemingly an ordinary map, only covers the area within a thousand miles of Donglai City. However, Xu Yang knew its subtleties. He stretched out his right palm, and a stream of Huo Ji Xuan's power surged out, transforming into a shadowy image of Bu Yi, then lightly swept across the "Divided Form Fixed Shadow Map".

  The geographical image of mountains and rivers on the beast skin map changed rapidly, soon shrinking to the range of Haiyun Mountain. The thirty-six peaks were in sight, with a small red dot appearing above Lianyun Peak.

  "It's true as recorded in the classics. The 'Fractal Image' can indeed locate people or beasts that have been seen before." Xǔ Yáng was overjoyed.

  "It's just the legendary 'Divided Form Map' that can monitor a radius of ten thousand miles, but this one can only pinpoint locations within a thousand-mile range," Xuyang thought to himself. "Is it a replica or a fragment? But these are unimportant details, for now, a radius of a thousand miles is sufficient for my use."

  Apart from this treasure map, Xu Yang also obtained two storage rings belonging to the rich young masters. He roughly examined them and was shocked.

  "These two storage rings, each containing wealth comparable to the accumulation of a medium-sized family in Linchen City." Seeing the accumulation of mysterious stones, elixirs and treasures in the ring, Xu Yang sighed at the severe polarization of rich and poor on Tianxuan Continent. The more powerful the aristocratic families were, the deeper their foundation was, and the better conditions they could provide for their children to cultivate, resulting in outstanding talents emerging generation after generation. This way, the aristocratic families would naturally flourish forever, becoming more prosperous with each passing generation.

  Xu Yang did not return north to Haiyun Mountain, he killed the two great princes' eldest grandsons, and it will inevitably cause a huge stir. It can be seen that the major clans of Donglai must have set up layers of killing arrays on his way back north! The range of Ren Yun's array is limited and cannot exceed 300 miles.

  "In that case, I might as well hide out for the time being and avoid the limelight. Once the Sea Cloud Sect's grand opening is over, I can sneak back into Donglai City! As long as I join forces with the people from the Sea Cloud Institute, I won't have to fear the pressure from the various aristocratic families."

  Haiyun Temple, as the imperial temple of Haiyun Shangguo, would naturally not be afraid of a few vassal states' families.

  Xu Yang had just finalized his plan and was about to find a place to sit in meditation when he heard a maniacal laugh: "Well done, you little brat! This time I'll see where you can run!"
